Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Grateley
Our roof survey gives you a clear picture of your roof’s condition. We look at the coverings, the ridges and hips, the valleys and flashings, the chimneys and the gutters, and the roof space where there is safe access. You get a written report with photos and recommendations. Where it helps, we say which items are urgent and which can wait. We survey natural slate, clay and concrete tiles and the roof space, and people most often book us about leaking gutter joints and downpipes and slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles.
Older buildings in small places like Grateley may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

Roof surveys around Grateley
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Leonard, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. For landlords with property near Grateley station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. Take a building like Grateley Primary School: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

Common questions in Grateley
Do you cover smaller places like Grateley?
Yes. Grateley is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can a landlord with a rental near Grateley station book a roof survey?
Yes, that’s a common request. We just need to know who will give access, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
How much does a roof survey cost in Grateley?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. You will know the price for your survey before booking, and it depends on the roof’s size, access and the package you choose. To get a price, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Do you inspect the roof from on top?
Only where it is safe to do so. We also inspect from ground level, from windows and vantage points, and from the loft. The Premium Survey adds a drone where it applies.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you as you book.
What insurance do you have?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Useful tips for Grateley property owners
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Check the roof from the ground after storms
- Photograph stains when they appear
- Find records of any re-roofing or repairs
- Stay off ladders and the roof
If you need work done, the report gives roofers a clear brief. They’ll see each defect and its location, so their quotes cover the same ground.
After a storm, check the roof from the garden and the street. Fragments of slate or tile on the ground mean something has shifted. Getting small faults fixed quickly keeps water out.
How it works
You don’t need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll take it from there. The survey itself takes an hour or two for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. In a small place like Grateley, access is usually the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- You get in touch with the address and anything you’ve noticed.
- We agree a date, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows, the loft and the roof itself where it’s safe.
- Every part of the roof is checked and photographed.
- We email a written report with photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
Arrange a survey
If you are buying, it is useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or email us whenever suits you.

DIY checks: what’s safe
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when you book.
How the survey changes by roof type
Flat roof coverings
Ponding, blistering, splits and cracked surfaces are the common warning signs. Upstands and outlets are checked too, since leaks often start there.
Clay plain and peg tiles
Clay tiles commonly last 50 years or more. We check for cracked, slipped and missing tiles, and for spalling where the surface has flaked.
For landlords and managing agents
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed beforehand. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. Recommendations are set out by urgency where it matters.
